The Legend of Zelda, Other Classics Return For Nintendo’s 8-Bit Summer On 3DS

Published 2 years, 8 months ago by Robert Workman

If there’s one thing we were wishing for Nintendo to pick up on, it was more of their classic digital releases for Wii and 3DS. And while the Wii is slowly but surely getting a few more favorites (Double Dragon II just dropped this week for five bucks), the 3DS is getting a whole month dedicated to the classics of old.

Yesterday, Nintendo revealed a release schedule consisting of numerous NES and Game Boy favorites that will be re-released for the 3DS over the month of July. They are as follows…

The Legend of Zelda (NES)- July 5th

Kirby’s Pinball Land (Game Boy)- July 12th

The Sword of Hope II (Game Boy)- July 12th

Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (Game Boy)- July 19th

Tumblepop (Game Boy)- July 19th

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (Game Boy)- July 26th

Sonic Blast (Game Gear)- TBD

Sonic Labyrinth (Game Gear)- TBD

Two more games are set to be released as well.

And you can start your 8-bit summer run now, as Super Mario Land has been reduced in price to $2.99 for this weekend only. Check out the trailer and get on it already!
